Arrived Thursday afternoon and it was blowing a gale and big swell. Friday was still forecast for 25knts. Seemed ok ish when we had a look at daylight, so we headed...

After spending 3 days at sea at Bermagui, for no fish in the freezer, I was fired up to go fishing when I got home. Monday I did my normal early morning swim and bike ride and was getting ready to go fishing when we had a coast guard call out. After heading offshore and providing fuel to a goose tha...

The Bug gets the fast water trout... The weather today was supposed to be fine and windy with rain due later in the day, well it was 2:00pm and the sky was still clear, there was hardly any wind blowing so I headed off for a spin session. This trip was to the upper reaches of the Meander River to fi...

I guess this all depends on your personal circumstances. if you have to travel some distance say an hour or more to go fishing then it could be considered unnecessary travel. If however it is a short trip and you are able to be isolated along the way and when you are there, with zero contact, then i...

One strongly suggested I put a post on FV as he said it helped him to 'get it' and it might help others. I've got nothing against FV but I don't post on social m...

All I can say is PLB PLB PLB! and don't be scared to use it. We will come and get you and we wont care if you are embarrassed. You will get over that.

Nice report, and well done. All i can suggest is if your fishing structure , learn to read your sounder really well. if you have sidescan use it, its a game changer!!! I've used side scan a little bit. From memory I used it when I was looking for the 26m rocks but it all just looked like sand eithe...
